Oregon bicycle owners beware!

There is a misconception that tag fees are funneled directly back to roads. They're not. Money for roads and bike lanes comes from general funds and often from the federal government.

I guess that depends on the state. In Arkansas, fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, taxes on heavy trucks, and of course, federal funds pay for roads. Our vehicle registration fee is less than $25, though.

So that's what I was asking, where does the money come from for bike lanes in Oregon? There must be some federal money involved, but where else?
